Acúmulo e efeitos fitotóxicos do flúor em folhas de boldo-gambá e capim-cidreira utilizadas para chás

Abstract: Resumo -O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o potencial de acúmulo de fluoreto em folhas de boldo-gambá (Plectranthus neochilus) e capim-cidreira (Cymbopogon citratus), determinar o percentual de liberação do poluente por meio da infusão e caracterizar, visual e microscopicamente, os danos foliares causados pelo poluente. Mudas das duas espécies foram submetidas a nevoeiro simulado com fluoreto de potássio. O acúmulo de fluoreto na matéria seca foi mensurado com eletrodo específico em folhas lavadas e não la… Show more

“…In the plants treated with fluoride, the epicuticular wax found to be more pronounced, cracked in some spots ( Figure 6C) and losing in others ( Figure 7B, D). The epicuticular wax erosion was also detected by other authors in leaflets or leaves exposed to F (Sant'Anna-Santos et al, 2007;Campos et al, 2010), and can result from the loss of integrity of the epidermis (Mesquita et al, 2011). Once the epicuticular wax serves as a barrier against the entry of pollutants through leaf cuticle (Singh & Verma, 2007), the erosion of the wax in the presence of fluoride may have facilitated its entry through the leaf surface.…”

“…The maximum level of fluoride accumulated in this experiment was about 7.53 μg g -1 in the treatment with higher content of potassium fluoride in the simulated rain (20 mg L -1 ). When other species were exposed to the same concentrations of KF, during the same period of time in the laboratory (Sant'Anna-Santos et al, 2007;Campos et al, 2010) higher accumulation rates of the pollutant were detected, if compared to the ones presented by V. polygama.…”

“…As plantas medicinais são uma das formas mais antigas utilizadas para o tratamento de enfermidades, devido às propriedades curativas de substâncias presentes em determinadas espécies (Campos et al, 2010). De acordo com Silva Júnior (1994), uma planta é considerada como medicinal quando possui substâncias ativas que provocam no organismo humano reações que podem variar da cura ao abrandamento da doença.…”
